Dynamite Not So Dangerous.

Dynamite is not nearly SO dangerous
= substance as people suppose" said Mr..
Schrader, of the Atlantic Dynamite COM
pany, to q reporter. I'VE have been en-
gagged for over seventeen years in its
manufacture and have had but two ex-
plosions in our factory. With experienced
workmen safety is almost assured. Pee-
pie have an erroneous idea concerning its
destructive qualities. Why, it cannot
compare with ordinary black powder as a
destroyer. Take, for example, the at
tempt made to blow up the British houses
of parliament. II the same amount OF
black powder had been used the effect
would have been far more disastrous.
Why Because dynamite is instantane-
Gus and local in its action, while powder
is slower in expansion and more far reach
ing in its destruction. Dynamite grinds
into atoms everything within its reach.
Powder breaks things into pieces, but
does not atomise them. Dyna-lite will
not explode in fire. 1t is exploded only
by conclusion"
"Then how does it happen that dyna-
mite projectiles thrown from guns and
moi tars escape exploding in the concus-
sion of the powder used in projecting
then,f'
THAT is easily explained. At the base
of the cartrige is affixed layer of rubber
which breaks the force Of the conclusion.
II is when it strikes and the cap attached
to the head of it explodes that the cart
ridge pes off. This is the only way that
dynamite can be employed in guns. II il
were used like powder it would blow the
gun 10 atoms. New York Mail and EX-

Har.h Criticism of Patti.

The narshest criticism that have ever
head Of Patti was uttered recently by q
man who has probably heard her on
NOR than half the occasions that she has
sung in this city for twenty years back.
| had quoted q remark Of hers in q recent
interview to the effect that the diva could
not seo how German opera co1ld ever
supplant the soft melodies Of the italian
school. To which the reply from my
friend came: We'll, if the Italian opera
had to depend on its PATHS for support it
would soon become what is called chest
nut. Do you know that Patti has not
created single part in over twenty years
don't think she has sung new song IN
ten years. She has made absolutely no
experiments at all in new operas. There
lave been several occasions when she
.ould have saved Col. Mapleson's season
oy appearing in new role, but she would
never consent TO it. For her own reputa-
ton, of course, that is the wise course to
take, but for Italian opera-well, we have
lone now, and that is one Of the causes. "

an elopement here, under the glitter of the

seriously, never heard of SO many ladies
who wanted to get married as are here

OF magnates, statesmen and potentates.
Lots of men come here TO look for wives,

hotels, aristocratic boarding houses, the
fats and the private residences are full Of

A New York Lodging House.

Mr.. SolOmOns, president OF the commit
tee on lodging house, which was founded
over year ago at 9 Doyers street as n
model lodging house has become self
supporting. Every lodger is required to
take bath AMI wear a night shirt pro-
vided by the Sanitary Aid society. A
clerk has been added TO the establishment,
and he cries Front" to bell boys. just as
they do in hotel. A bed costs 10 cents
Attached to the lodging house is a restau-
rant, where a bowl Of coffee, Hambur-
ger steak and bread may be hi d for 10
cents. The lodging house was established
by the society with the hope Of persuad-
ing charitable societies in the city to es-
tablish them in all Of the thickly settled
wards. An auxiliary committee Of ladies'
is now organizing under the auspices Of
the Sanitary Aid society with the view of
providing one or more similar lodging
houses for wOmen.-New York Sun.

The old story Of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea-" gets a new illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
heslth-poor appetite, disOrdered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then a right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine, just as he did from the
first-and 30 kept doing all alOng-until the
name of quinine sounds like the tOlling of
the bell. Clearly between the two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea- Sometimes the name is
varied, and il is called some other inc in
place of quinine, but it is all the same-the
old firm with a new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey'S Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen tried them. They were sue
cess from the first, and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health,
and left no trace of disease OF drug pOis-

Paul Bert's Scientific Courage.

A striking aneciote of NJ. Paul Bert's
iatrepedity as a sayant is related by one
who, owing to his connection with the
hospital at the time, is in a position to
vouch for its authenticity in every par
ticular. Some years ago he visited Havre
while severe epidemic of smallpox was
raging in that port. Noticing on his
return to Paris that the mortality was
daily on the increase ne began to enter
tain doubts as to the efficacy of yaccina-
tiOn as a prophylactic, and resolved to
solve the problem to his own satisfaction
by experiments on his own person. He
accordingly got himself vaccinated, and,
gong u fortnight afterward to the Charlie
hospital, he eourageOusly had himself
inoculated with the virus of man who
was dying of the smallpox. No i'll effects
having resulted from this terrible expert
ment NJ. Paul Bert was completely won
over to the canse of vaccination, which
throughout the remainder of his life had
no warmer supporter. 1t is characteristic
OF the savant that he never breathed a
word about this to any one. evidently re-
Iarding the trial to which he had sub
!ected himself and the fearful risk which
he had run as commonplace episode in
the career of a vOtary Of science.-Paris

Nalme Of Black Birch.

The price of black birch OF the best
quality has recently gone up from 81 to
$9j per 900 The extraordinary advance
Is due TO the discovery that boards cut
out of the first logs are susceptible TO a
very high polish and can be used for al
most any purpose hitherto exclusively re-
served for mahogany, which is worth
about $50 per 1000. The advance has
been expedited by the discovery that the
best black walnut is giving out. Black
walnut from Arkansas and the south is
SO porous that it is Of very little use in
furniture making.
The best black birch is found almost ex.
clusivcly on the barren copper ore regions
between Milwaukee and Ashland, where
all other timber is stunted in Owth and
very poor. Here boards out of the butt
cut quickly assume beautiful red tint
on being exposed to the atmosphere and
can BE- polished up to n great degree OF
fneneSS. The price will soon fall to $50
or So per 1000, as a railroad is being laid
right through the very inaccessible region
where it grows, and the high prices have
tempted several men 10 open out sawmills.
Red beech has also advanced in price very
